How does one fill out an application for a small business government grant?

There are not specific forms that apply to all government grant programmes, as every individual government grant requires you fill out an application form for each. Government grant terms are different for each programme, so the first thing you will need to do is to check the prerequisite terms and be certain you meet them before moving forward If you have found a grant you are interested in that you can use, then you must write a proposal to the specific grant, which should include your plans for the money, how it would help you, and more about your long term plans, and yourself or your small business. For more information about how to write a proposal, fill out the form on our web site or give us a call on UKStartups.org, 020 3880 8554.
